About this book
Two hundred copies of this 1907 volume of essays by W. B. Yeats were printed at the Dun Emer Press in Dundrum. Its contents list twenty-one short pieces on drama, poetry, saints and artists, old wives' tales, religious belief in art and the thinking of the body, along with an essay on why the blind man of ancient times was made a poet.
The first essay, Prophet, Priest and King, recalls a small theatrical company reaching a west of Ireland town to play in a ruined ball-room, and a visit with a young priest to a convent school and a cathedral where two young Irish sculptors were carving an altar.
